That’s really interesting and great that a low dose has an effect for you. I know you still suffer but so good it helps to some extent. I shall bear this one in mind as we have similar problems (notsame but in same region) it could help me. The ami helps me sleep better then I ever have so that’s a good benefit and I also only get a slightly muzzy head and sometimes a metallic taste in my mouth similar but it’s more annoying than anything. Thanks for your feedback much appreciated.

Just a thought, but I would try the flavorless version. Artificial flavors can sometimes cause digestive side effects.
8/16-12/16: Fissure due to antibiotics
5/17: Botox to sphincter, fissure healed
9/19: Trigger point injections and pudendal nerve block
11/19: Botox to pelvic floor
8/20: Botox to pelvic floor in new location.
On and off in pelvic physical therapy
